Our first "Gunayadun" (Good morning) sumptuous breakfast introduced the treats in store at the Dalaman Hilton (click for pics). We set about trying out sun loungers, drinks by the pool, and the gym, as we explored. Evening drinks outside and late to bed set the tone. On a walk to Sarigerme we found a tortoise. Our main adventure was a self-organised trip to Dalyan which we reached by dolmuş bus (get on/off wherever you like), with a change at Orteca. At Dalyan we hired a boat (click for film) and captain for the day and set off upriver to the thermal mud baths and downriver to the sea. "Iyi gunler" (Have a good day). We saw a turtle, kingfisher, various other flaura and fauna and beautified our skin at the hot springs. The beach is a loggerhead turtle breeding ground in May/June. We continued to laze about all week and then enjoyed a fantastic flight home in clear skies over Croatia, the Alps and the whole of the UK south coast. We brought the nice weather back with us.
